Suffolk County Settles for $1.75M in 2011 Police Shooting Case

Family of Kevin Callahan, killed by police in his home, reaches settlement after years of legal battles.

Kevin Callahan, 26, was shot by police in his Long Island home following a 911 call in 2011.
Police claimed Callahan attacked an officer, leading to the shooting; the family disputed this, alleging excessive force.
The settlement was reached before a new federal trial, following a previous jury siding with the county in 2015.
The family's lawyer expressed relief at the resolution, though noting it does not bring back Callahan.
Suffolk County's Ways and Means Committee approved the settlement, providing closure after 13 years.
